Liferay Connected Services

Access critical tools for your Liferay platform, 24/7.

What is Liferay Connected Services?

Liferay Connected Services is a new online platform that offers a set of tools and services that will help our customers succeed on their Liferay projects.

Fix Pack Management

Managing Enterprise software can be a challenging task. Our customers love having security updates and receiving bug fixes which are crucial for most projects. We have also seen how managing updates when having multiple servers and environments can be daunting. So we created a tool to easily manage and install fix packs across several servers and clusters.

Metrics

Understanding platform performance and detecting performance issues can be difficult. We offer the metrics and the information that matters to our customers in a simple and clean format: page visits, application load times, memory metrics... start measuring your platform!

Online Dashboard and Alerts

With our online dashboard, you can access all the information about your different environments from a single point of access. Also you'll be able to access the alerts section where you will be notified when there are new fix packs available, servers are down, or there are configuration issues.

Considering the performance demands and number of changes applied to our system weekly, LCS is really helping us stay on top of things.
